Well, I have read the story now, and I was COMPLETELY wrong. The situation was
the other way around!
The setting showed MICKEY, being in the museum with Zapotec and Marlin, being
situated in CALIFORNIA, while SCROOGE, sitting safe in his money bin, was
somewhere in FLORIDA! (this was in part six of the Zodiacus-series)
However, another thing I noticed was that in the Zodiacus-series part 1, Mickey
and Goofy had to go to Miami (from Mouseton), and said "luckily it's not far
away". Which could mean they was already quite close to Florida - but not IN
Florida, as Goofy went there in typical Floridan tourist clothes and said "I
thought you HAD to dress like this when in Florida!"
